It's easy to target me and ignore the question of alternative voting systems, it was a genuine question. I assumed replies would be like that, as a lot of people only want voting reforms 'when it suits their views'.

@AcidSnake I tend to stay clear my American sites as they all have their own motives, let's see what the final result shows, hopefully a Obama win!

If the US had a 'popular vote' election then tens of millions of people who didn't bother to vote, in states that were certain to vote red/blue, might actually vote.

So yes, the popular vote numbers are fucking meaningless in every way.
